āStreaming is deadā say the people who killed it.
Yes but theyāre rich now
Right? The streaming Star wars IP even book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan series were light-years better than anything Disney put in theaters save maybe Rogue One. I have a feeling they are going to fuck up Mandalorian with the Grogu and Mandalorian theatrical release too. Once it reaches the box office, thereās too many cooks messing with the creators vision imo. Weāll see I guess.
Streaming is dead? What, are we back to laserdisc and nobody told me?
Thereās leveling viewer rates and an increase in torrents so yeah, it is sorta dying because no one likes playing 90 dollars for 7 subscriptions that still donāt get you every show you want to watch.
Plus having to pay more to miss ads! Iām already paying them ffs
What they mean is not that people arenāt streaming. Its that the profit margins in streaming are reaching a plateau so investors canāt profit nearly as much or as easily.
Iām actually considering buying shows on Blu-ray and then ripping them into my media server. But Blu-rays are super expensive compared to paying for streaming for s few months, and I never know if Iāll actually watch something completely before I even start.
You can go to your local thrift store and get DVD Videos and Blu-rays.
I get all my blank media from there.
Your local library may also have a collection of movies and shows available for checkout. CDs too
Streaming is dead
I guess this means it doesnāt create the income they want?
It means they know they canāt beat Netflix, and that the streaming monopoly is out of reach for everybody else. Without that monopoly, they canāt raise prices to the points they want.
I donāt think I own a single device that can play optical discs.
Me neither.
